idk why i cant get monitized after a year and half

[flint ridge]

why original message has been deleted ?

https://youtu.be/sdzaTIsvDWw

[tulip oar]

because the video lowkey sucks, like nice drawings but it's not really fluid, it's really slow, monotone, I wanna sleep - am not saying you should be hyped up, but it doesn't even sound like you're interested, and if you're not interested why should I be

[flint ridge]

each picture there takes time to draw, so u mean if i add more pictures, or exceited pictures, it gonna work better ? or what else shall i change on it ?

[tidal badge]

preferably something has to change on the screen every 3-5 seconds to not let viewer's attention slip, and by "something has to change" i mean the smallest details like arms moving or anything like that, and unfortunately repeating a set of 2 images for about +10 seconds will never work

its obvious that the inspiration here was Psych2Go channel, and their videos flow very nicely due to the activity in them. There may be frames with a single picture, but subtitles that put emphasis on words are very good to see

now take this with a grain of salt as this comes from a person that is not into that type of content, but as a youtuber I see it this way

and as luigi said i just paid attention to voice acting and it does sound uninterested in the topic

considering the audience for psychology/therapy content are people who are probably struggling with talking to others they'd want to watch something where the voice actor feels alive and interested in them

also just looked further into your channel and there's alot of work that has to be done on titles

they feel very raw

partially due to some of the words not having starting letters as uppercase

if you look closely at psych2go's titles you can see that they go like "7 Signs People Are Repulsed By Your Aura", as opposed to your style that would look like "7 signs people are repulsed by your aura"

such style of titles does work but not for this type of content

ngl psych2go's content also fell off a little bit with their topics, but we wont discuss that

now if we had to look at the thumbnails

its quite simple when you compare both

2 different videos but still the difference is tenfold

alot of colors and eye catching details like facial expressions on characters on the 2nd thumbnail

while yours is

quite literally plain

thing with thumbnails is that they don't have to necessarily show something DIRECTLY related to a video, their job is to catch viewer's eye and make them click

like this is a good example

not in a single world would i imagine such video would have such a thumbnail

but it is very unusual and paired with a title and the fact that it is a big problem that many people face makes it very enticing

[flint ridge]

here exactly i fall short cause i get 17k reach but under 1k view or worse 3k reach and 30 view, i dont know what to take in mind or how to make it more interesting, im not a english native speaker, for titles i use chat gpt and some similar videos on YT like psych2go titles, any suggestions where i shall look more and how to improve those ?

[tidal badge]

the only advice regarding such type of content would be to look at your competitors and always gather feedback from others about your videos

just make them sit through your vid and note boring moments

you can do it yourself aswell but its less reliable

and at those moments add literally something

be it subtitles or a pic

[flint ridge]

so i shall use upper case too? ive tried to do so, last week i thought maybe im uploading shorts and long video, thats the issue and i shall stop shorts to get better result ?

[tidal badge]

uppercase and yea

shorts and long form should be divided into separate channels

although if you're not big its best to focus on one of them

[flint ridge]

sometimes topics r in the niche the same but i research extra and write my own text, ive tried to avoid it but basically they have covered many psychological topics

[tidal badge]

if anyone ever covered something you can do the same topic

but with a twist

whole youtuber's job is not to be an original scriptwriter but an artist who can put a new perspective on things that were seen before

so if you see a topic that you're REALLY interested in then go ahead and replicate it but add something on top

[flint ridge]

thats stunning and creative, ive released a video in this topic only 43 views.. thats a huge point im missing.. thumbnails and titles..

[tidal badge]

exactly

you dont really have to make the best content but make the best titles and thumbnails at your level

only people who can afford not to care about such stuff is popular yters

i'd really recommend you to stop and reflect on your skills for now instead of doing videos on a set schedule

[flint ridge]

thats an amazing detail. ill definately impliment it for next videos, thanks a lot, so i look at other videos with the same topic and kinda copy the thumbnail ?

[tidal badge]

essentially yea

copy the essence of it but dont just make a blunt copy

it's definetly ok to get inspired by something but dont bluntly steal things

[flint ridge]

so i delete all shorts and open a new channel for it ?

[tidal badge]

this

don't do both if you're at growth stage

[flint ridge]

thats my weakness, how have u became so creative for titles and thubnails ? i try to get creative but i feel im not creative

[tidal badge]

my case is just experience

but if i had to tell beginners how to make best thumbnails

look at others

[flint ridge]

so i shall stop uploading and better think about good good titles and thumbnails ? i have 15 more videos i made but havent released yet, maybe i can ask people here for title and thumbnails roast, i would be more than happy if u would also give your opinion

[tidal badge]

thats exactly what u should do

when you're trying something for a long time and failing constantly

maybe you're doing something wrong

[flint ridge]

definately i will do this , for next videos,

[flint ridge]

yea i was nearly about to give up, i thought it gonna not work

[flint ridge]

im not familiar to discord, how can i add u in my friend list ? i might ask ur oppinion if its ok for u

beside that, thanks for everypoint uve mentioned 🫶

[tidal badge]

not necessary to add me

just ping me when you need something

[flint ridge]

ping ?

[tidal badge]

done by typing @ and then the person's name

[flint ridge]

@tidal badge oh, does this work in every post on this server ?

[tidal badge]

ye

[flint ridge]

thanks, cu around

[raven tide]

From my perspective:
No clear channel "niche"
Topics is kinda all over the place.
Thumbnails is too busy and rarely eye catching.

for thumbnails, i won't expand, viberbread did good job already

for videos -> i would recomend checking a lil bit of my "fun" thread , there is nice stuff for early attention grabbing #1212998434131546122

there is alot of chat in there, but make sure to just read begining from pinned

overall i would suggest finding one anchor point and focusing on it

so it could be like "smart people", and then all topics about "why smart people CAN'T XXXX" etc

[flint ridge]

what does 71 VPT mean ? i dont have it on my channel @tidal badge

[tidal badge]

vidIQ browser extension

[raven tide]

VPH is view per hour

also when you

begin journey, it's nice to structure videos differently

[flint ridge]

psychology was my niche, how can i improve clearity of it ?

[raven tide]

there is actually preety deep "niche" ideation in that thread i posted

it's just ~300 messaages long, so it would be ~10min read

but with images :D

[flint ridge]

yea he has explained very well, i will look there too 👍

[raven tide]

condensed version -> "psychology" is to broad, and you don't have credibility to tackle down psycology

so you need to narrow it down first, and then expand

[flint ridge]

what is anchor point ?

[flint ridge]

like a playlist or something ?

[raven tide]

about structure -> instead of "talk" about "can you tell if someone lying, what if youre mistaken" .
try to think and do solutions for problems with results.
So instead just with hook like "In next 2 minutes you'll find out how to easly tell that someone is lying and will never be tricked again..."

[flint ridge]

so i make playlists or how shall i structure it better ?

[raven tide]

anchor is kinda "subniche"

so you're psychology -> but maybe "psychology for teenagers" -> but maybe "psychology for teenagers with ADS"

[flint ridge]

its worth the time, i will read that, where can i find it ? is it the link u already send up here ? i havent open that yet

[raven tide]

yeah , here #1212998434131546122

but jump straight to the pinned message "1 ITS NOT GUIDE"

that will be start :D

because it's like 1k+ messages there already

im using it as subchat for my experiments

and some people found it helpfull :)

[flint ridge]

oh, u mean i make video only about one single topic in psychology and then i change topic, one after the other ? that sounds very nice, sure i will do it

[raven tide]

you can kinda change alot of stuff, but ANCHOR will be one thing

let's go to kitchen for example

my niche is cooking

i dive deeper into "cooking eggs"

then one more step "cooking fried eggs"

so thats my "anchor"

[flint ridge]

thats a golden key ,

[raven tide]

and all my videos, while being cooking , will be only about fried eggs

but what videos? thats where ideation comes:

10 tools to cook best fried eggs

10 ways to cook fried eggs

that will be "list videos"

then
I cook fried eggs like GORDON RAMSAY

I cook fried eggs like BABISH

that -> trendjacking

then
cook fried eggs in dishwasher

cook fried eggs on my motor

entertainment

then
cook fried eggs as ADS kid

cook fried eggs for curing mental illness

[flint ridge]

so i finish one subniche and cover all its videos, then i go to next, how do u think about psychological videos about sex and sexual attractions ? i think that one might work the best ?

[raven tide]

thats...psychology

and after finishing loads of stuff, maybe it will unlock new anchors

like -> fried eggs like gordon ramsay
will get loads of views...so we can expand on this and continue:
cook fried eggs LIKE XXX -> do series of recipes from other PRO guys

or...
cook XXX like GORDON RAMSAY

[flint ridge]

im excited now 😄 what to expect,

[raven tide]

so we got pivot point , crossroad to niche UP

and from "cook fried eggs" we went up into gordon ramsay niche

or with audience, we can try to expand up, into

cook eggs

NOT FRIED

so again

10 ways to cook eggs (fry/boil etc.)

and so on, and so on

probably after second round with niche up, we get enough audience, to just tackle -> cooking niche

it can be done from the start, but again, it's hard without audience to understand what will work

............
so for you -> it will be either

SMART PEOPLE.
Or
PHRASES to Avoid
Or
Anxiety
Or
worst habbits that come with
or
Sleep something(im bad with sleep topic, so figure it out yourself)

and just do alot of stuff on some of this topics

X Reasons Smart People Struggle With XXX

there is possible at least 5 topics for this

chat GPT just gave out 10Certainly! Here are some potential ideas for a YouTube video titled "Reasons Smart People Struggle With XXX":

Procrastination: Explore why even intelligent individuals may struggle with procrastination and how it impacts their productivity and success.

Imposter Syndrome: Delve into how imposter syndrome can affect smart individuals, leading to self-doubt and hindering their achievements.

Perfectionism: Discuss how perfectionism, while often associated with high achievers, can actually hinder smart individuals from reaching their full potential due to fear of failure.

Overthinking: Analyze how overthinking can paralyze smart people, leading to analysis paralysis and difficulty in decision-making.

Burnout: Investigate how smart individuals may be prone to burnout due to their high expectations of themselves and the pressure to constantly perform.

Lack of Social Support: Explore how smart individuals may struggle socially due to feeling misunderstood or isolated in their intellectual pursuits.

Difficulty Asking for Help: Discuss why smart people may find it challenging to ask for help when needed, leading to unnecessary struggles and setbacks.

Fear of Failure: Examine how fear of failure can hold smart individuals back from taking risks and pursuing their goals with full confidence.

Work-Life Balance: Explore the difficulties smart individuals may face in achieving a healthy work-life balance, as their passion for learning and success often consumes their personal time.

Perceived Expectations: Discuss how societal expectations and stereotypes about intelligence can place undue pressure on smart individuals, leading to internal struggles and mental health issues.

[unkempt sable]

wayteh has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

[raven tide]

so probably there is definetly 5 worth looking into

[flint ridge]

no he is writing me , dont warn him

[raven tide]

:)

i like :
overthinking, burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, work-life balance, asking for help, perceived expectations

[flint ridge]

if i use chat gpt wont youtube shadow bann me ?

[raven tide]

no, why ?

it's not very cool anyway :) but nice for inspiration like this

[flint ridge]

i got a new window openned in my brain now, these new info sounds just like what i needed, i was damn stuck

[flint ridge]

i will start make these videos, thanks a lot 🫶

[flint ridge]

im scared of getting shadow banned, idk why for example that video of mine with 1100 views hasnt been shown to anyone since it hit 1170 views, no reach anymore

[raven tide]

that happens, it's fine :)

it's allways accumulative process

so first to 1k is very good

next will hit 10k, and it will pick up all other videos

some of my first videos on new channels, got like ~50-100k views now...wonder how much they have in first 2 month? 50-100 (not k)

[flint ridge]

thanks a lot, i will go and read that page now, i hope for the best, one thing also confuses me,while uploading there is an option to choose what u upload belongs to which educational system and which level, hold on i will send an screenshot maybe it effects ?

[raven tide]

thats why focusing on acnhor is good, you get this one person, who enjoys "fry eggs"

and he will binge watch all fry egg stuff

and thats create strong signal to just throw all videos into the public

[raven tide]

oh yeah, thats new stuff, not familiar with this, but i guess thats for "educational" content only, and helps for search

you can experiment with changing this into "entertainment" or other good type

[flint ridge]

lot of questions which grade it is if i make educational but entertament has no question, what is best to choose ?

[raven tide]

your competitor is using

HEALTH

so probably just switch it from education to health also

"educational" is good if you doing courses i guess

and other university stuff

your cartoonish is more broad and "health" or entertainment related

so stick with health :)

[flint ridge]

how can i also see this page ? i dont know what they use as tags

[raven tide]

vidiq extension

in chrome

probably in other browsers too

i never use tags, nor channel taggs too :)

you'll find out why, and how it works in the topic

[flint ridge]

thanks a lot

ill read that page, next videos must be different

[raven tide]

yeah no problem

[flint ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgp7MraGKmdfdyA1yW6Y6vg

guys does this look better now ?

how are new thumbnails ? new titles ?

a little bit still its hard foor me to choose what thumbnail or title to pick and whats better, maybe u guys have a hint there ? 🙂

[raven tide]

Looks nore clean

More**

Views reflected as i see :) so keep crushing it! 💪🏿

[flint ridge]

thanks , some times it takes youtube 2-3 days slowly slowly reach up to people, is that normal ? this new video ive uploaded yesterday has only 60 views or so

[flint ridge]

thank u guys for hint and help

[flint ridge]

im thinking about buying a useful tool for YT , is that useful ?

[flint ridge]

what fo u think of VIDIQ extensions ?

[raven tide]

honestly. i would say... 50/50

it's fine

but won't really "change" alot

[flint ridge]

thanks for honest feedback, any other tool to use ?

even my most successful videos hit the 0 rate, is that normal ? they all stop viewing at certain point

[raven tide]

Yeah

Its stats for ~hour

So just check day before

Tools depends on what you need.
1of10 paid is nice, but pricey.
VidIQ is good too.
They can help generate ideas,
But i still think - exploring through YT yourself is more beneficial in most cases

[flint ridge]

on this video or other videos i see 0 here and there

or here my newest video only got 145 views, does that have any reason ?

[flint ridge]

i was thinking about this 1of10, but do i have to create it on my channel email ? i try to produce this content also on other languages, for vidiq i have problems to use it on other channels cause it fixes itself on one channel, how is the 1of10 ? can i use it for more channels ?

[raven tide]

1of10 is "research" tool basically

you adjust parameteres , and getting results for them

so you not scrolling through average videos, but can see -> videos that got 10x views of channel AVG with more than 100k views in last month, and was produced this year/month/week and also belongs to this keywords/topics

i still like to scroll myself, i probably missing some outliers (1 of 10 is basically outlier search tool)

but i see what is relevant to me, and considering my audience = me, if i want to copy/get inspired by someone

i use just normal YT and browse for hour or 2

[flint ridge]

currently i also scroll and look arond only

its very hard to find relevant videos being lately publiced with good views , so u think im better off without those ?

[raven tide]

Can't suggest really :) right now best stuff that really pushed my channels to new level every time, was just improvements in content. So just study -> implementation loop.

It won't hurt to try out

You're not forced to sub to this tools forever anyway

I probably would pick a month with most time i will be able to give to this tools, and then try out everything they can help me, and then decide

[flint ridge]

ill check it out and see what i can get outta it

[raven tide]

👍🏿

Tell your thoughts about them too :)

[raven tide]

vidiq updated panel

and i would say i like it

im not sure, but it's probably even free right now

this tab especially

still a little bit too "AI'ish"

[flint ridge]

hows the way u research about ur niche that is more efficient ? we spend bunch of time researching and stuff but we end up with 1-2k Views

[flint ridge]

i had to buy that i guess after 3 tries

[raven tide]

1. check what competitors doing and whats working well
2. find other channels of your or smaller size and find outliers
3. merge, remix, find new ideas that can stick to working formats

and to get more views, ideas should be just more interesting and worth watching :)

i would say it's super simple, but getting them is not an easy task ofc

[whole summit]

I just wanted to say thank you to @raven tide who helped me a lot by giving this advice to @flint ridge.

I now understand better how niching down and up works.

So far I have been posting videos based on an unclear understanding I had.

I now understand so MUCH more. Thank you!

[raven tide]

🫡

[flint ridge]

i try my best, actually ive tried something new a niche which might have potential and ive seen some videos about it, but my channel got suspended

[flint ridge]

im currently in transition, i hope i get where u r, i will ..

the video is about BPD and for "dangerous activities" we have painted unprotected sex, title of the video was clickbait ( Definately Not $ . E _ X Animation

[flint ridge]

i dont have any person in USA, and here there is no Youtube office, isnt that much to ask if you write youtube ? ive heard when u r monitized u can chat directly to youtube, 😦

😓

[raven tide]

yeah, but i can't do it, it's actually common stuff to get this "law breaking" on yt

[flint ridge]

ive started a new channel , dang it again and again ..

[flint ridge]

it was written in case in science and studying u can show porn, idk why it turned this way now ..

[raven tide]

I guess you need to label channel or video as education probably, and there's tons of other rules and circumstances around this topic. Better to stay away from controversial and 18+ topics if your goal to monetize. But reuploading your previous catalogue on new channel ( without tagged video) is a good move, and you probably hit algorithm faster

[flint ridge]

hard way again .. 😦

i guess google flagged my IP , no views at all kinda thing '

even hight impression..

i went only long videos ..

[raven tide]

Nice CTR

You got your previous catalogue to reupload?

Just upload more vids and you should take off

[flint ridge]

yea the same stuff er uploaded again, but impression isnt going above 10 idk why even

i remade all those videos by making each screen only last 3 seconds before changing to new screen

its more engaging, also thumbnails and that explaination of u about titles

[raven tide]

They are not flat, so it should be fine

[flint ridge]

i hope it gets better, not moving at all..

[flint ridge]

new video

[raven tide]

show channel link

not video pls, so we don't mess up algo :)

[flint ridge]

new videos wont even be searched if i search the title, flat , completely, fu youtube ..

[flint ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfH1hZjLgjxdgeqT3MxuW4g

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtbZmirBtkPcxnq61xTqEwg

these 2 channels , no english channel yet

[flint ridge]

from this channel

[silk sage]

this might just be me but your animations/animation style looks really similar to psych2go lol

[raven tide]

I tested to search russian, works fine

Why you choose hindi and russian? :) especially with goal of monetisation ?

You'll get less than shorts RPM from RU channel

[flint ridge]

yea russian came up but the other one didt, ive delete the video and uploaded it again, now is searchable

[flint ridge]

ive got inspired by that but i try to have a different appriach and ani9mations 😄

[flint ridge]

nah its not hindi, its persian, i thought maybe the competence is less in those languages , but i will also start the english one soon

[flint ridge]

so is it useless ? how to check RPM ?

[raven tide]

Yeah, there is no ads in russia

You'll see when you monetized

[flint ridge]

but whole soviet union block speaks russian, i thought maybe those would get some cash?

[flint ridge]

every time i take off , i had to start a new channel i kinda dont kno w even if i get there , since 2 years the same story repeats 😩

but every time its different reason

last time google thought i am a bot cause i had different gmail adresses for each channel

[flint ridge]

how do u check the RPM rate ? im interested to pick a thing with good RPM

[raven tide]

only by testing

or research

it's could vary alot

but just telling you, whole soviet block talking different languages :) and when you make content in RU, it's 95% RU audience

but that's RU - RPM's right now

and that's preety good paying niche :)

20+ min video

so if you're aiming to get 1-2$ per 10k views, RU is your choice

[flint ridge]

damn .. 😦 i dont know friends in other languages to record other languages, id like to make in german and spanish, arabic too but no one around me knows these languages

[flint ridge]

so what would u suggest ?

[flint ridge]

i started the english channel, the bad part is for each 2 channels i need a new phone number, it maxes always

[raven tide]

i suggest not to make 100 channels

instead do one, and focus on it

your english sounded nicely, so i would just focus on it, and learn how to scale first

do 1 thing -> learn -> grow -> scale (thats where you can add more languages)

[flint ridge]

already arranged with two friend of our for persian voice over and russian voice over, invited them on the channel, they upload and do stuff for those channels, i myself handle only english one, if its a bad aidea i tell them stop ? i thought to split the responsibility with this, how do u think is better to do now ?

i thought to pay a kid a bit for tiktok and instagram account as well , how do u think about this idea ?

[raven tide]

no its fine then

[flint ridge]

i agree with this, somehow that being banned made me tired so i thought i start all of them 😄

[raven tide]

again, it depends on your goals and other stuff

but if its same videos, with different voiceover, you can be flagged as reused content

so it's tricky situation

but that's what i heard

i'm not doing this stuff myself, so can't really confirm

[flint ridge]

i even dont know when they upload, i give them english animation, they translate and record and upload , i promised them 50% of income 😄 smart ?

[flint ridge]

oh man .. no 😦

[flint ridge]

ive seen pych2go made different languages, i thought it might be possible

[flint ridge]

now u made me unsure, the only thing which changes beside voice is video length, but if that gets flagged i will get depression 😦 again and again

[flint ridge]

just wanna get monitized 😄

[flint ridge]

even if its the same email adress more channels ? mr beast has done it also

[raven tide]

don't compare mr.beast and new no sub channels

:)

but thats just a theory

[flint ridge]

good point 😩

my hardest thing is make good thumbnails, i try get help from AI but that aint going somewhee

[flint ridge]

mate, does it make sence to make an instagram and tiktok page for my youtube ?

[raven tide]

For YT -> no in 99.99% of cases

It will help in scale of 0.1% probably

So if you got like 10000 views and 500 likes on post on insta, there is probably 5-20 people that will go and see your YT

And its not guaranteed right viewer

It doesn't mean you should not have other socials

But again. Best way to approach things, is to set goal and then write plan going backwards from it. Excluding everything you don't need

[flint ridge]

what i dont like about youtube is, no matter how much people watch ur videos or even if they like it and follow , as long as u have under 100 videos, ur impression isnt going to be avove 100, right now my impression is 5 max

[flint ridge]

thanks , i thought to invest in it by getting some people ( i tell people i know ill pay them 30% of channel income in future if they do that, and they seems to be happy doing help 😄 ) but if the effect is so low, its worthless

[flint ridge]

i have 40 short videos from my youtube videos, this time ive head ur suggestion and havent upload them on YT, i thought maybe on tik tok they manage to earn some money, ive made 40 videos yet + 40 shorts in 3 languages 😩

idk what to to with them to have best result, but ill uplod long videos on YT and shorts ?

yet ur suggestions always helped my improvment

[tidal badge]

and i am only at 5 videos

on a new channel

so its a matter of what you do and not youtube algorithm

if you're not getting anything it means you havent found the right audience YET or you're doing something wrong

in this case i'd rather place my bets on the second option seeing no improvement in views from the last time we talked

[raven tide]

completely not true ;)

[raven tide]

top up on this

it's topics X market cap X audience interest and so on

[tidal badge]

and competition

[flint ridge]

how do u get on 5 videos 1 million impression ? 😮

[flint ridge]

u guys r nailing it

[tidal badge]

its simply a matter of what people need

or want

[flint ridge]

damn, so the key is postingonce a month ?

[tidal badge]

no

time that it takes to make my videos has nothing to do with it

its just that i alone work on the videos hence they take so much

[flint ridge]

well , how to figure that out ? i do the research u both told me, i make nice thumbnails too, i improved animations and voice , so where am i still lacking ?

[flint ridge]

what does that mean ?

[tidal badge]

its what matters

[flint ridge]

exactly i feel so

[tidal badge]

topics that you choose
market cap as in how many people are potentially interested
audience interest as in how many people actually look for that type of video

[flint ridge]

in meanwhile my channel got banned for a short video i posted abot borderline people, i had to start over again

[tidal badge]

is that why you have no english channel rn

cuz i cant see it anywhere

[flint ridge]

i have , hold on

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3i5xk91V55USRWMlnbcwfA

[tidal badge]

i will put my bias towards such artistic style aside and just say that the thumbnail is borderline bad if not horrible

on the surface it may seem like its good as it somehow explains the title

but no

first of all thumbnail and the video itself have drastically different artistic styles which already confuses people as they click on the video

they probably should get atleast some understanding of what the video is about and how it'll look like

so i imagine the thumbnail could be a parent screaming at their child saying you will be nothing or something along these lines

and ok i cant go about my review without mentioning the art style in the videos

[flint ridge]

i made a new one, i wonder why isnt that updated

[tidal badge]

in my most honest opinion

this art style borderline crosses uncanny valley

these are kind of humanoid figures but they also dont look human

like this is weird

i do understand how psych2go goes about this as most of their artists draw in a cute/chibi style

but this one is just

weird

[flint ridge]

so do u mean the thumbnails of russian channel is better ? there its animation style

[tidal badge]

like these are just clear examples of how they work with basically the same "non-human humanoid" style

[tidal badge]

lemme check

[flint ridge]

exactly i uploaded this , hold on i send here

[tidal badge]

i just saw it

but no

also bad

[tidal badge]

also no

[flint ridge]

needs more effect

[tidal badge]

sillhouettes only work well on bright backgrounds

not this

and its not even a clearly defined human

i would GENUINELY recommend switching up that art style

it tries to go into psych2go's territory but fails miserably with its presentation

[flint ridge]

i thought that makes it more interesting or not ?

[tidal badge]

no

why would it make it "interesting"

at best it only makes people wonder wtf is this style

at worst makes them leave

like it did with me

they look almost like aliens

and you're talking about human psychology

they do not go hand in hand

[flint ridge]

i prefer that too but im afaid to do that and people say im copying ?

[tidal badge]

there's always a thing to put on top

[flint ridge]

they look really good

[tidal badge]

you may copy their art style but making it further cartoonish or, in reverse, making them a bit more realistic with defined features would do you well

copying is always fine as long as you actually put effort to make something different out of it

[flint ridge]

what art style would u say is better ?

[tidal badge]

psych2go's art style is all but made to be cute and easy-going so when they talk about heavy topics it doesnt feel as bad

[tidal badge]

i have genuinely never watched animation content let alone animated psychology content

so i cannot say anything about it

all i can say is if you're talking about human psychology make it look like humans

[flint ridge]

thats a good idea

[tidal badge]

but as psychology is a heavy topic for some

its probably a good idea to simplify the anatomy

to make them more chibi-styled

[flint ridge]

exactly, i felt there is something

[tidal badge]

just a second

psych2go has a worrying feature where they have alot of animation styles but what i prefer is this

not as clearly as human could be but also not as far from a human anatomy

[flint ridge]

how do u like these two styles ?

[tidal badge]

eh

no

its ofc my own interpretation of this entire thing

[tidal badge]

but i only like this style

especially if its used to talk about psychology

[tidal badge]

that however looks like kids TV animation

like he looks borderline marshmallow but still cute and somewhat human

while your current style looks like they are aliens made out of white skin

so i would def recommend researching more cartoonish styles

[flint ridge]

it transferes the emotions, yea

[tidal badge]

and that as well

that style can be utilized very well to convey emotions

like this

clear happiness and its cute

so it works

very well

[flint ridge]

so some charakter like human but cute and cartoonish ?

[tidal badge]

character

and yea

pretty much

really just consider a potential audience you're trying to reach

if its 14-21 year old people then its best to aim for a cartoonish style

if older then its probably best to go into more realistic territory

[flint ridge]

probably yea, ithought more to 18-23

[tidal badge]

i would probably bet on that since its mostly teens who struggle with mental health and actually go out on the internet to seek advice/watch content about it

[flint ridge]

realestic with AI u mean ?

[tidal badge]

i cant tell you

an exact style

you gotta use

[flint ridge]

exactly

[tidal badge]

its up to you to develop one

[flint ridge]

ill make some and post here , ill ask u guys which one seems better, i have to change the charakter , how do u findout what people want to make as next video ?

[tidal badge]

there are of course tools like yt research to see whats in trend right now

but we're talking about psychology

a thing where there's so many questions that are yet to be answered

literally think of the most pressing/difficult question that is related to psychology you have and try to see if it has any demand

[flint ridge]

ill do that for new videos, ive got 40 videos already made ready to release, after these i will go for it

[tidal badge]

jesus christ

why would you make

40 videos

in advance

you dont even know what works well yet and you havent found your audience

[flint ridge]

i made every week one animation for last year 😄

[flint ridge]

40 videos and 40 shorts 😬

[tidal badge]

i would def recommend picking out about 3-5 ideas that are the most interesting and just experiment with an art style that can be applied

you do NOT need this many videos

[flint ridge]

what tool do u use to findout whats most interesting ?

[tidal badge]

im going to be completely honest

the only way i find my ideas is either through other youtubers and their content that has done outstandingly well

or just search my topic (in my case its roblox) and see if there's anything i can possibly do

[flint ridge]

i thought maybe videos in sexual direction might be interesting but im kinda afraid of getting banned

[tidal badge]

if you're targetting teens its probably best to do psychology and especially emotions

not sex

you may not have enough credibility to be perceived as a professional on this topic whose information people can trust

[flint ridge]

so i get into new videos with new ideas, meanwhile i keep posting these old videos ?

[tidal badge]

no

there's no point in videos that are made without any specific goal/improvements

listen im just gonna tell you

a very important

thing

that may sound bad but its a blessing in a disguise

[flint ridge]

thats quite accurate , i thought to improve those videos may work?

[flint ridge]

sure

[tidal badge]

making more does not substitute for growth

taking more time and putting more effort however does

and

that thing that i wanted to tell

[flint ridge]

no its okay, tell me

[tidal badge]

absolutely nobody cares about you

and by that i mean youtube-wise of course

there's genuinely no one who's expecting ANYTHING from you

so you're literally free to just shut your channel down for a year and come back stronger than ever

ofc its overexaggeration when im saying a year but there's 0 need for 40 videos

if you're just hoping to strike a gold mine with one of those 40 videos then sure it may work

but there's 0 guarantee you'll be able to improve and extend upon that topic

if you spend alot of effort and time perfecting your art

people will def see that

thats about it

really you're just overthinking the analytics

every youtuber's journey starts from mistakes

(and making 40 videos is just about the biggest one you can possibly make)

so really just take your time before someone does start to watch you

[flint ridge]

i think i gotta change manythings ..

kinda painful throwing away all those

[tidal badge]

ofc

a month ago i uploaded a video that was in works for 3 months

[flint ridge]

but i gotta find something to get viral like u did on5 videos ..

[tidal badge]

i took my sweet time with it perfecting it

and it got 3k views

[unkempt sable]

viberbread has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tidal badge]

unbelievable

but fortunately nobody cared about that video so i just unlisted it

and moved on

[flint ridge]

i ask some times psychology is a topic that may not have many interested people , maybe its a bad nieche , people might nor like these videos..

[tidal badge]

very false

psychology is a field of biology that is present in LITERALLY everyone

we all have a mind

and we all have problems

just find the most popular problems and put your twist on it

[flint ridge]

thanks a lot, i will go and work on my animation, i might be able to make a huge change

most popular pszchological problem ?

[tidal badge]

yea

[flint ridge]

about all of these i made video

google search

[tidal badge]

like alot of people are lonely and psych2go clearly catched this topic

here people are afraid of looking unatrractive so they want to be as attractive as possible and thus they click on this to discover their flaws

its literally just a simple question that they storywriter asked himself

"what makes me look bad"

and they made it into a watchable content

[flint ridge]

thats an amazing way to lable it , i made this but a different description , no one watched

[tidal badge]

exactly

packaging is whole another thing to discuss but now you need to get the ideas foundation

even i watched this video because i felt like i've seen a bit too much stuff in the past few days

and some people have probably felt the same thing

[flint ridge]

hmmmm it opens a new way for ideas

[tidal badge]

it is

just consider

what psychology is

ofc its a broad term but its basically the source of most of our life's problems and worries

had we been flawless machines that are able to execute our tasks perfectly we'd be golden

but we have problems

ones that need to be addressed

[flint ridge]

ive wrote title : why do we feel lonely ?

[tidal badge]

its just not everyone REALLY knows what problems we have

[tidal badge]

bit too basic

something like "7 Reasons You Feel Lonely" or "These 7 Things Are The Source of Loneliness"

[flint ridge]

this gave me narrow idea line of questions people randomly think about

[tidal badge]

yea

just to show you how random these questions can get

i recently have been wondering why the hell do i make so many friends yet i also don't really like talking to people

it can range from that to basically anything

[flint ridge]

they turn one sympthom as a question for title

[tidal badge]

this video for example just fed everyone's ego and made them think "oh yea i am smart i gotta check this video out"

this is basically the "how to" tutorial for a really apparent problem

(people are very bland and cannot attract anyone)

or so they think

[flint ridge]

this was useful last time ive used

[tidal badge]

literally just pick a problem that you have and see if it has demand

thats it

[flint ridge]

exactly

[flint ridge]

i thought about making a video why men get less matches on tinder than women

[tidal badge]

coooould be good but with a drastically different packaging

you cant just name it like that

[flint ridge]

how different packaging work?

[flint ridge]

men dating vs women dating ?

[tidal badge]

that really depends on what you're gonna have in a video

[flint ridge]

why i wont get any matches?

[tidal badge]

ill need more context but to make an attractive title it would be "Why Men are HATED by the Society", although it leans more into that realistic/dark-gritty side of things

especially considering we're mostly talking about psychology and not dating

[flint ridge]

there are some psychological and statistic problems why men get less matches , i would bore on these

[tidal badge]

then that thing probably fits but also needs further refinement

which i have no idea on how to do

[flint ridge]

exactly

[flint ridge]

or i have an idea to make why we have so many beta males these days , or differently said , why me nr accused of any nonsense these days

something which might makes some people uncomfortable , that might lead more engagement ?

[tidal badge]

only if the art style is welcoming

as once again psych2go does it

cute style and blah blah blah you get it by this point

[flint ridge]

yes i must remake charakters

also backgrounds ?

[tidal badge]

but that can be rephrased to "How to Stop Being a Beta Male"

to address the potential viewers

(it may hurt them though so gotta be careful with those topics)

[tidal badge]

everything

art style is EVERYTHING

[flint ridge]

How To Prevent More Amber Heards ?

[tidal badge]

huh

[flint ridge]

already have tasted the banning system ..

[flint ridge]

sounds not provoking ?

[tidal badge]

no

what the hell is that even supposed to mean

[flint ridge]

hmmm

Johny Depp and Amber heard ? the woman lied about most of things to accuse him ? i dontk know i meant something which shows men being accused and turning to betas ?

[tidal badge]

do you even know what term beta males means

[flint ridge]

maybe sounded not good ,

yea simps 😄

[tidal badge]

yea

weak men

i see no correlation between johnny and amber

[flint ridge]

i thought about it ,Johny isnt beta

yea

[tidal badge]

if anything johnny handled it like a chad

[flint ridge]

bad example

[tidal badge]

and by "be careful" i meant that you may damage people's ego

[flint ridge]

i thought refering to a famouse thing might attacts attention , but yea it was a bad example

[tidal badge]

resulting in them not wanting to click on the video

not too many people are willing to admit they're weak

[flint ridge]

oh in that sense , sure in that i try to stay neutral in videos

[tidal badge]

neutral isnt always good

provoking/attractive is the best

[flint ridge]

exactly ,

[flint ridge]

giving them a push and stay elegant ?

[tidal badge]

another way to phrase it without directly insulting your viewers would be "7 Signs You're a Beta Male", although its probably best to phrase it as "7 Signs You're Emotionally Weak"

and out of that last title i already got another one

which is a whole another video

"7 Signs You're Emotionally Intelligent" which is basically gonna feed people's egos until they realize they do not match whatever the video says

[flint ridge]

thats exactly an other video, so then i make a video about emotionally inteligent people ?

[tidal badge]

you could

wowie

but ok

main things people wanna see is either someone glazing their ego or someone solving their problem with a simple step-by-step guide

[flint ridge]

thats a new line to think about, that point with Smart people is also a goo point, they think they are and they click, in last channel which got banned this title was going good'

[tidal badge]

this is just another example

[tidal badge]

yea

[flint ridge]

i might copy these ideas and remake them differently with a different tent

text

[tidal badge]

yea

could also work

just use those as your foundation for a good video

and thats it

[flint ridge]

i also thought to use AI voice , my sister isnt willing to do it anymore after we got banned in last channel

[tidal badge]

i can like name 50 more titles that work in the "7 Signs You're (any positive trait)"

[tidal badge]

no

terrible mistake

AI voices arent nearly humanoid yet to completely pass as human

and we're in a human psychology territory

wouldnt feel right if the video about HUMAN psychology was told to you by a robot

right

psych2go has a cool cast of VAs with soft voices that are perfect for their own art styles

they have male voices aswell

[flint ridge]

i gotta convince her , that aint easy 🥲

i gotta pay a voice artist its easier :)))

[tidal badge]

yea

much easier

and probably better

and its voice actor not artist

[flint ridge]

😄 not a native english speaker here 😁

[tidal badge]

well then

gotta work on english

some corrections go a long way

[flint ridge]

once my chanel get monitized, ill definately want to move to the US

my biggest dream

[tidal badge]

too early to think about it

[flint ridge]

ill definately think about these all new info , definately i have to make some changes to get there, thanks again for taking ur time , u two are the best, no one helps these days but u 2 guys are very helpful, i will come with new thumbnails and new videos for review before publishing, hopefully i got it better this time

[tidal badge]

go get em

[flint ridge]

will it take more than a year ? 😁 u got it in 5 days

[tidal badge]

it took me

4 years

to get to this point

[flint ridge]

🥲

[tidal badge]

that first video is a combination of 4 years of experience and about 2 months of non-stop work

last 3 days of production literally had me without any sleep

[flint ridge]

wow, why ?

[tidal badge]

just wanted to really get it out

[flint ridge]

it paid off,

[tidal badge]

absolutely

and its your turn to work as hard as you possibly can to be the best version of yourself

[flint ridge]

hahaha , soon to be next mr beast

i know that feeling 😄

[tidal badge]

blueyippee

[flint ridge]

thanks 🙏 , ill check it later on here with u 2 , thanks mate

[tidal badge]

gl

[flint ridge]

if i could help u i would offer but i know im far from being able, :))) if there is anything i can do let me know,

[tidal badge]

you can def help me alot by actually succeeding with my advice

(so that you and i can further pass it down to others without worrying if it works)

[flint ridge]

ill do my best

[raven tide]

Yeah, as bread said, don't try to search "chheatcode" . Do stuff and analyze why it work/not work

And its 99% not because of algorithm

It could be - fun positive thumbnail on video that is ~depressing/dramatic

It also can have no market cap at all

Basically -> no one cares

For example if i try to search "toxic parents" that you made on ru channel, there is basically ~5 videos on topic and all have no more than 10k views in 5+ years. So thats 5years x 365 days = ~roughly 1700 days total, and 10k views / 1700... Its ~3 impressions per day max

Divided between all videos based on channel reputation, scale and other factors

So you should have around 10 impressions/ month on that video

I guess 🤔 thats what you got

So its not "YT won't show my videos"

But "no one cares about this"

[flint ridge]

how do u guys do research ? maybe my research way isnt good

[flint ridge]

yea sor of ..

but on previus channel that video got 2 k views on russian on first day, then channel got banned cause of hat short i made on english channel

all of them got banned

[flint ridge]

i gotta learn how to find what people want to wtch, thats my issue

exactly..

[raven tide]

different ways, depending on the goal

#1212998434131546122

i described my process here in begining of thread

but i just bombard YT with search based stuff, getting traction and then cruising from there

[flint ridge]

ive read that page u send me and im doing the same , maybe i miss something,

[raven tide]

no, but how did you researched ideation for your latest video on eng channel?

i just can't get whos this video for

thumbnail is very agressive

and parenting mistakes is kinda... term for parents

while first part is clearly for teenager curiosity

as search term, it's very low

and also there is psy2go video that named same

what is the reason to press on yours instead of his?

[flint ridge]

these are older videos i made since 2 years ago , i got around 43 videos which i made but only the last 5 were while we have talked for first time here , now i got stuck with these 40 videos :)))

[flint ridge]

i thought like 18-35 years old, parents or children abused by that

[flint ridge]

i agree with this, where can i findout the search term ?

[flint ridge]

i have vidiq but i dont have this page , is there an other tool i could use to find better results ?

[flint ridge]

i mean this tool

[flint ridge]

i thought to copy theit title, it might work

[flint ridge]

content and stuff in video isnt the same, also not the information, at least i hope so 😄

i gotta find interesting topics and start working on those to be seen better

also changing some stuff in animation'

[raven tide]

Yeah

No one will see your content and stuff in video if there is almost same naming and thumbnail

If topic is not wide

[flint ridge]

i stopped every production, trying to research for next video, its hooks and story but first i need to change whole animation style

a lot on my plate, for a while ill be not releasing , if other guys release onler videos maybe but ill focus on something unique now

i gotta say its very upsettin to throw away 40 videos but i cant shoot around and hope to hit something .. 😦

[flint ridge]

ill change that too, once ive seen psych2go copied my thumbnail , lol 😄

i was kinda proud

[flint ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBPJNo-Ds0U

this animation style

ive decided to not produce anything before ive found my style, but also release older videos ive already made in other languages but not english, competition is less there

@tidal badge @raven tide hows that animation style in ur oppinion ?

[tidal badge]

yea

very nice

[raven tide]

Cool

[flint ridge]

i gotta find an animator to help me out for this one 😄

but im glad i like it too

[flint ridge]

guys, im nailing it :))))) beside working on animations ive uploaded videos from AI and this is killing it , im using a free version idk if its ok to upload on YT but if it works good i might buy this AI, its just nice 😄

meanwhile im working on animations as well

how are these charakters guys ?
